This morsel has my soul vibrating like a tuning fork. I’m in the age bracket of the majority of your respondents here – at least two with names which feature large in my family tree – so good company – and they express in response to this intro the same kinds of feelings I have.
Years ago I was teaching for nearly two decades in Japan – part of my university contract was to teach community continuing education classes. Of course English communication – Donald Keene essays or the history of English (how did it arise and how did it get to become the “world language”) or cultural aspects of English vis-à-vis its equivalence in Japanese. Needless to say bright and intelligent and mostly fluent in English – the members of those classes.
But one sad member through one of those dozen years was a disturbed chap quite mentally unstable (picking up – as such people can do – on the political dog-whistling of the Japanese right and its regular refusal to answer Chinese claims re Nanjing or praying at the War Shrine in Tokyo – and later threatening all manner of dire acts on a Chinese academic mate – and on his little girl as she went to school – but thwarted by some intelligent actions from mutual friends) who shouted out in the class that I was a Marxist. A what?
Look, Helen, I was raised in a fundamentalist protestant family – not escaping the fundamentalist clutches till I was 19 – and nearly finished my tertiary studies – and my history courses had largely missed late-19th political theory – don’t ask me how. I knew only that the manner in which the accusation was flung at me with a kind of knowing sneer meant that it was not positive. Now I am champing at the bit till next week and your book’s release to learn how he identified me as a Marxist!

My demos views and below: I am similar on political party thought to Sandi Toksvig "I don't think there's a party that represents anything I believe in" Billie Jo Armstrong of Green Day who makes music I like also has a similar statement which I also agree with I am not a Democrat or a Republican. I am ME. As stated elsewhere, I support the Forward Party and it's ranked choice voting platform to help us go beyond our two party/candidate totalitarian society so we get more left wing, working class and politicians who reflect us on the ballots instead of career politicians. Ranked choice voting would give us more choices in Presidential elections beyond just , using an example from 2024 Joe Biden vs Donald Trump I am exactly like Kyle Kulinski when it comes to the Democratic party and I support the Democrats like Kyle does. I am trying to get Kyle to continue to move the Democratic Party leftward from within Joe Biden literally as Bernie from Weekend at Bernie...
